Unblock Star+ 🇧🇷 Brazil from 🇵🇹 Portugal
Star+ no longer exists as a separate app in Brazil: it merged into Disney+ in mid-2024. Its sports (ESPN) and general entertainment catalog moved into Disney+ plans. Portugal has direct submarine cables to Brazil (EllaLink), so latency to São Paulo can be as low as 100–160 ms — among the best in Europe.
What Star+ (agora Disney+) carries — and how the block works
What used to be Star+ — ESPN live sport, adult-oriented series and movies — now lives in Disney+ Brazil under the plan that includes ESPN.
You need a Brazilian Disney+ subscription tier with ESPN for the live sport. The Brazilian catalog and BR live channels require a Brazilian IP to stream.
Watching from Portugal: timezones, latency, community
Lisbon is 3–4 hours ahead of BrasÃlia. Sunday-afternoon Brasileirão games land in the Portuguese evening — the best time slot for expats in Europe.

Portugal hosts the largest Brazilian community in Europe — hundreds of thousands strong — and Brazilian TV, BBB, and futebol are part of daily life there.
From zero to a Brazilian IP
The whole point of QR-based provisioning is that the setup is identical whether it is your first device or your third.
- Create your tunells.online account — no card needed to start.
- In the dashboard, add a device and open its QR code (or download the .conf on desktop).
- Scan it with the WireGuard app and activate the tunnel.
- Confirm the Brazilian IP (search "my IP") and open your streaming app.
Tips to avoid trouble on match day
- Searching for the old Star+ app? Skip it — install Disney+, subscribe to the Brazilian plan with ESPN, and connect with a Brazilian IP before opening live channels.
- Lisbon is 3–4 hours ahead of BrasÃlia. Sunday-afternoon Brasileirão games land in the Portuguese evening — the best time slot for expats in Europe.
- Connect the VPN before opening the streaming app; many apps cache your region at launch.
- Generate one key per device (2 included) — sharing one QR across devices makes connections drop each other.

Is the speed enough for streaming from Portugal?

Is my connection private?
